Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile Touch-Up 2-Step Kit

Works as advertised, and makes a good hard repair. Two caveats: 1- the instructions really mean it when it says to use in 24 hours. Hardens like a rock after that. 2- not all whites are the same. If you’re lucky it will be a perfect match, but in my case was just a little “off”. That said, the goal was to repair a bad chip, and it was close enough.

Great job on tub! Covers nicely!!

I used this to repair two chips on a porcelain bathtub. Both were all the way through to the metal so there was rust that had to be cleaned off first. I used vinegar and salt to clean off as much of the rust as I could, then went over it with a little piece of 320 grit emery paper. Next I mixed the touch up kit and applied it with the supplied brush. The brush is small enough that you can precisely match the edges of the patch to the edges of the chip. However, it holds a surprising amount of the compound so (just like with paint) you have to be careful not to load up it up too much. The compound has approximately the same viscosity as correction fluid and I'm guessing would be difficult to use on anything other than a horizontal surface. Fortunately both of my chips were on the flat ledge surrounding the tub. After applying the compound I allowed three full days for it to cure before exposing the repairs to water. The cured product has a smooth finish, similar to the porcelain itself, although it is raised slightly above the surrounding surface. I suppose if you were really OCD you could do some wet sanding to achieve a perfectly level surface, but I didn't bother with this. So far the repairs have survived two long, hot showers and seem to be holding up well. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars is that the color match is not perfect; the compound is somewhat whiter than standard bathtub porcelain. But unless you look closely, it does not jump out at you. Once mixed, the compound must be used within 24 hours, so make sure you identify all needed repairs before beginning.

I had a bathtub that had a lot of wear on it, and my landlord was able to repaint it and make it look nicer. Unfortunately minor cracks would pop up after 6-9 months, and as a preventative measure I picked up this kit to patch those up. It seems to do the trick and covers up the cracked spots well, preventing further splitting. The color is fairly close though I don't really mind that as much as I'm renting and the bathtub isn't perfect to begin with. The paint definitely smells so I would recommend running an air purifier in the bathroom for about 24 hours after application. The only downside is that it totally dries up after about 24-36 hours so you only get a few applications.

This was for a rental property, and I just wanted to prevent future rust. I did not have expectations of perfection, just didn't want the tenant to make the rusting worse. I sanded down some small bare spots in a white porcelain tub that had a few dings. Mixed the 2 bottles together as directed. I did not find the product too thin at all. The problem was that it beaded after complete mixing. It didn't 'level' itself out at all. And the color! It is brilliant white. As in whiter than paint white. With the left over, I ran over some chipped spots in a blinding white white sliding glass door frame. It was too white for that! That was bulgy and beady too. I give it 3 stars because as an epoxy mix, I'm pretty sure it's going to last a LONG time (assuming you mix the TWO bottles you were sent together as directed). One star off for not being any shade of porcelain white. All the sinks/tub are snow white, there is no whiter color and this is toooo white anyway. One star off for refusing to level at all. It makes a ball you have to sand down again, which defeats the purpose of using it. Someone needs to reformulate this to work better on porcelain, I think it could use more thinner myself.

As everybody says, it’s bright white which wasn’t a true match, but since most of the areas I wanted to cover were small head-of-a-pin-sized holes it filled the holes neatly and they become invisible unless you know exactly where to look. The directions say to recoat after 10 minutes — I found that was too soon and got better results after 20 minutes. I found the brush in the cap too big for my use — wanted to just fill the dings, not coat the area around them — and found a toothpick was a much better, more precise application tool. It is also very runny immediately after mixing, which is fine for flat, horizontal surfaces. I had a few vertical surfaces and got better results when I’d let the paint sit for 15+ hours, with very little running because the paint thickens the longer it sits after mixing. By 24 hrs it was very thick and time to throw out what wasn’t used. An inexpensive solution that worked great.

Lasted for less than 2 weeks. Followed the instructions perfectly. This is a bogus product, don't waste your hard-earned money on this.

This product worked well to cover up the area around my drain that was starting to rust. you can tell that the area has the paint on it but it looks 10x better then it did before. It will not make your tube look like new but is defiantly worth a try if you are just trying to fix a small issue. My only suggestion is to make sure you not only clean the area but to sand the rust areas really good before applying if that is the issue for you. i thought i had gotten all the rust off from one area but did not and now the rust is showing through the white paint so i will need to remove the paint and fix the rust issue then redo it.

One of the bottles arrived almost empty. The liquid was poured on the package. Waste of money.

EDIT almost three months later looks the same and the patch has held in a 5-person household with shower running daily and baths with bubbles weekly. Tub was reglazed when we bought home. 10 years later it needs to be redone. We plan to redo the space but wanted a tie over until we do. Was looking for simple and cost effective. I used all the paint and did three thin coats. Best tip, use your own brush. Better tip, fresh brush for each coat as I definitely have some brush hairs stuck in there. I wore an N95 and opened windows with an air-purifier running. Smell is gone after 12 hours. Hardest part was drying the tub and prepping as it is our only showering space. I would highly recommend this for a practical fix. If you are looking for aesthetic get a pro. Pics are of 12 hours after treatment and after prep work. I chipped the damage back in hopes of better sealing and the work lasting longer. We plan to put a bath mat over top (which caused the damage in the first place). I wanted to write a review because the reviews and a YouTube video showing how to use the product really helped me.

This is one of those must have products that can save you hundreds but unfortunately becoming impossible to find. Absolutely recommend. Even if it's not a perfect colour match for a cheaper tub, it was for my taps and the job on the bathtub looks a million times better than a black chip mark. Everything is still intact with no flaking or peeling. 100% recommend

I had a bathtub caddy that scratched my tub that I had previously painted. This was very easy to use for a small repair such as that and it matches pretty much perfectly. It is expensive for the little amount you get but if you just need to touch up a small scratch I think it’s worth it compared to the hassle of refinishing a whole tub again.

I thought this product was supposed to fill in cracks and chips in tiles, but it is basically just a paint (but worse because after 24 hours you can no longer use the product). Even after multiple coats it doesn't fill in the damaged areas (see pic).
